Saam 109
1 Katoeng kruek zaehoikung hanah. David ih Saam laa. Ka pakoeh ih, Aw Sithaw, angam duem hmah;
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;
2 kasae kaminawk hoi aling thaih kaminawk mah kai han pakha ang angh o thuih, nihcae loe kai khaeah amsawnlok thuih o.
For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 Hnukmahaih loknawk hoiah kai ang takui o; takung om ai ah kai ang tuk o.
They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.
4 Kai ih amlunghaih to misa ah a poek o lat; toe kai loe lawkthuihaih hoiah ni ka oh.
For my love they are my adversaries: but I [give myself unto] prayer.
5 Nihcae mah kahoih hmuen to kasae hoiah ang pathok o moe, kai ih amlunghaih to a hnukma o.
And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.
6 To baktih kami nuiah kasae kami to suem pae ah, Setan loe a bantang bangah angdoe pae nasoe.
Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.
7 Anih loe lokcaek naah sung nasoe loe, lawk a thuihaih to zaehaih ah angcoeng pae nasoe.
When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.
8 A hinghaih aninawk tamsi pae nasoe loe, minawk kalah mah anih angdoethaih ahmuen to la pae ving nasoe.
Let his days be few; [and] let another take his office.
9 Anih ih caanawk loe ampa tawn ai ah om o nasoe loe, a zu loe lamhmai ah om nasoe.
Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.
10 A caanawk loe ahmuen kruekah amhet hoiah ban patueng o nasoe; kamro a oh o haih im hoiah tacawt o nasoe loe, caaknaek to pakrong o nasoe.
Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek [their bread] also out of their desolate places.
11 A tawnh ih hmuennawk to hmuenmae coi han paek kami mah la pae boih nasoe; a toksakhaih atho doeh minawk kalah mah lomh pae ving nasoe.
Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.
12 Mi mah doeh anih nuiah tahmenhaih tawn hmah nasoe; ampa tawn ai nawktanawk doeh tahmen o hmah nasoe.
Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.
13 Anih ih caanawk loe anghma angtaa o nasoe; angzo han koi adungah doeh nihcae ih ahmin to phrae o boih nasoe.
Let his posterity be cut off; [and] in the generation following let their name be blotted out.
14 Ampanawk sakpazaehaih loe Angraeng hmaa ah amtueng poe nasoe; amno zaehaih to anghma pae hmah nasoe.
Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the LORD; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Nihcae panoekhaih long hoiah tahmat pae ving hanah, nihcae zaehaih loe Angraeng hmaa ah om poe nasoe.
Let them be before the LORD continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.
16 Anih loe palungnathaih amtuengsak hanah poek ai, amtang kaminawk to pacaekthlaek moe, palungboeng kaminawk doeh a hum.
Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
17 Anih loe tangoenghaih to palung pongah, tangoenghaih to anih nuiah krah nasoe; tahamhoihaih koeh ai pongah, tahamhoihaih loe anih khae hoi kangthla ah om nasoe.
As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 Anih mah loksae to kahni baktiah angkhuk pongah, a zok thungah tui baktih, ahuhnawk thungah situi baktiah akun pae nasoe.
As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.
19 Angmah angkhuk ih kahni baktih, kaengah angzaeng poe ih kazii baktiah, a nuiah om pae nasoe.
Let it be unto him as the garment [which] covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.
20 Kai kasaethui kaminawk khaeah, Angraeng mah hae hae tangqum ah paek nasoe.
[Let] this [be] the reward of mine adversaries from the LORD, and of them that speak evil against my soul.
21 Toe, Aw Angraeng Sithaw, na hmin hoiah na sah paeh; na palungnathaih loe hoih pongah, na pahlong ah.
But do thou for me, O GOD the Lord, for thy name’s sake: because thy mercy [is] good, deliver thou me.
22 Kai loe kam tang, ka tak thung ih palung loe ahma caak boeh.
For I [am] poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.
23 Kai loe duembang ih tahlip baktiah ka zaem tathuk boeh; pakhuh baktiah ahnuk ahma kang thuih.
I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.
24 Buhzah pongah ka khokkhunawk hae cak ai boeh; ka taksa doeh zaek keng boeh.
My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.
25 Minawk kasaethuih han ih ni ka oh boeh moe, nihcae mah kai ang khet o naah lu ang haek o thuih.
I became also a reproach unto them: [when] they looked upon me they shaked their heads.
26 Aw Angraeng ka Sithaw, na bom ah; na palungnathaih hoiah na pahlong ah,
Help me, O LORD my God: O save me according to thy mercy:
27 hae loe na ban ni; Angraeng, nang mah ni na sak, tiah panoek o nasoe.
That they may know that this [is] thy hand; [that] thou, LORD, hast done it.
28 Nihcae loe tangoeng o, toe nang loe tahamhoihaih paek ah; nihcae angthawk o naah, azat o nasoe; toe na tamna loe anghoe nasoe.
Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.
29 Ka misanawk loe azathaih to kahni baktiah angkhuk o nasoe, kahni hoi khuk ih baktiah, mikhmai sethaih to angkhuk o nasoe.
Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.
30 Ka pakha hoiah Angraeng to ka pakoeh parai boeh; ue, pop parai salakah anih to ka pakoeh han.
I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.
31 Zaehaih net kaminawk ih ban thung hoiah amtang kaminawk ih hinghaih pahlong hanah, anih loe amtang kaminawk ih bantang bangah angdoet.
For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save [him] from those that condemn his soul.
